Home Office Organization: Get the Wiggles Out
Organized File Cabinet from Storables
When I am teaching classes on home office organization or working directly with clients, I often suggest keeping the file cabinet as close to their work area as possible. Ideally there would be a letter tray on top of it for “To File” items as well. The thinking is that the closer you are to the file cabinet, the more likely it is that you will reach over and file your papers. Sounds good doesn’t it?! If you store your file cabinet out in the garage, it’s likely that papers will sit in piles because the file cabinet is too far away.

But there are exceptions to every rule. Some people need to get up and move around throughout the day to get the wiggles out! And that’s OK! If you need to get up and move around more than the average bear, than place the file cabinet across the room. Get up and place papers into the letter tray throughout the day. Get up and file a few papers throughout the day. I still don’t really recommend placing the file cabinet out in the garage though-you don’t want to forget that you have it!

If you need to get the wiggles out during the day, wiggle on over to the file cabinet throughout the day to stay on top of your home office organization goals!
